This “Hume” on That Hume

Posted on December 1, 2008 by David Hume

I feel somewhat strange posting this, but I just want everyone to know: David Hume is not my Ayn Rand!  I only say this because several people seem to be under the impression that I agree with all of David Hume’s propositions. Some have mocked the fact that I agree with proposition “X” when Hume argued for “!X,” and so forth.  Rather, my selection of the name “David Hume” (my real  identity is no secret) is simply a homage, as the Scottish philosopher was both an unbeliever and a reputed Tory (and in my youth I greatly admired Hume, and to a great extent still do).  Additionally, I will go on the record to reiterate that those who contribute to this weblog speak for themselves.

    Pfft, I doubt David Hume would ever name himself after someone he disagreed with.

    Are you implying that Ayn Rand fans are a bit fanatical and tend to adopt every viewpoint of their mentor/savior? For shame! This just proves what a looter and intellectual hooligan you are! 🙂

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to step outside and smoke an unfiltered cigarette. Ayn says it symbolizes man’s taming of fire.

    Mea culpa: I really am an Ayn Rand fan, just a more subdued one. BTW — I like your choice of Hume for a pseudonym. I use Paul Pennyfeather. Very few remember where that name comes from.

    You guys need a new design. It’s too cluttered, and I can’t read your site easily.
